> Nothing wrong… Well, thanks, I suppose. > …allow it to work organically. This is a bit unclear. Would you object to finding mediocre speakers from underrepresented groups just to boost representation? I imagine so, and so would I. Would you object to, e.g., posting to a mailing list mostly for black or women developers to encourage applications (without any alteration to the subsequent application procedure)? Well, I can’t tell whether you’d regard that as ‘organic’ and unobjectionable, or inorganic and objectionable; I’d regard it as the former. Does that mean that I’ve succumbed to the ‘woke mindvirus’? Perhaps, but even if I have, I’m not convinced that such terms are conducive to curing me of it.
